PTT eyes mega-refinery in Vietnam

PTT Plc is considering building a refinery with a capacity of 660,000 barrels a day, which would make it one of the largest in the world, in Vietnam, say Vietnamese officials.

The refinery, in the Nhon Hoi Economic Zone of coastal Binh Dinh province, would cost $28.7 billion (877 billion baht), Dow Jones Newswires quoted a provincial government statement and a provincial official as saying.

Nattachat Charuchinda, chief operating officer of PTT's downstream petroleum business group, confirmed on Friday that PTT had presented a pre-feasibility study to Vietnamese provincial officials.

    Thai businessmen showing concern for the future Thai workers! NOT! Could it be that the Vietamese are better educated and prepared for the future?
